Dear Mr. McAleenan:
‘We respectfully write to request information about a recent Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) alert that Chinese-made drones could be used to collect and exfiltrate sensitive
data out of the United States. According to a news report, DHS’s Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an alert on May 20, 2019, that Chinese-made
‘unmanned aerial systems (UAS) pose a “potential risk of an organization’s information.”' This
alert follows a 2017 memorandum from another DHS entity—Homeland Security
Investigations—that warned that UAS sold by Da Jiang Innovations (DJ), a company
headquartered in Shenzhen, China, likely provided sensitive law-enforcement and critical
infrastructure information to the Chinese government.”
To assist the Committee’s oversight, we ask that you provide a copy of the CISA alert to
‘the Committee and arrange for a stafi-level briefing about the contents of the alert. Please
provide the alert and briefing as soon as possible, but no later than June 27, 2019. Ifany material
responsive to this request contains classified information, please contact Committee staff for
guidance on producing classified information under separate cover and apart from unclassified
information.
